JACOPO GALLELLI
MYSTORY
Jacopo Gallelli has been the first and only (until now) European angler to take part in the Bassmaster Classic and also to win a Pro tournament in the USA.
His career has distant origins, since he caught, when he was a kid, the first fish and told his father that this would become his job.
He continued in his pursuit by making fishing his irresistible passion, experimenting all the possible techniques, fly fishing included, until the age of 14, when he decided to devote himself to bass fishing only.
He soon started cooperating with important tackle stores in his hometown (Florence, Italy) and competing in Bass Fishing tournaments around Italy with very good results.
In a few years he became the most known and promising angler in Italy, getting him active roles in Fishing magazines and TV shows around the country.

Outside the Boundaries: Report from the Fifth Stop of the Bass Pro Tour (Chowan River)
When you arrive in Windsor, North Carolina from the highway that passes it to the south, you drive past a sign. It’s a sign you could pass without noticing. Around the sign, which sits atop a pole, there are a thousand distractions. On one corner there is an old house from times gone by, its paint crusted and peeling from the bent wooden frame, on the other the blinding lights of a gas station. A river flows behind this mis-en-scene, which is framed in turn by a swamp. The sign can easily be missed.
What did it say? I turn around at the corner to read it with care. It says:
“WWII POW Camp

Still in the Saddle, Despite Everything
It obviously gets harder to discuss results when your horse isn’t winning, or even placing.
But you also know that the horse is a pure breed and that it has all of the qualities it needs to perform well.
And we fans who passionately cheer for him continue to believe that he can still compete for the top spots.
Maybe we don’t appreciate that this year is not a competition year like the others. Our champion is running now with the fifty best horses in the world. As such, a poor result can still put him on the track to a better result.

Wacky&Neko = Predator W.G
In recent years, techniques like wacky rig and neko have become very popular among Bass fishermen around the world. The need to have a specific hook for this technique that had specific characteristics of snag resistance, ease of bait rigging, and hook set capability, led me to request BKK to develop some prototypes.

Jacopo Adapts, Improves Result at Santee
When the first bass you catch weighs seven pounds, six ounces, you can be pretty sure your day has begun well and you would say it on almost any lake. But on the Bass Pro Tour, anything can happen. For example, you might land a giant bass and then not catch another, or you might find yourself surrounded by fish you only see in your dreams – or surrounded by gators.
Luckily, gator season was…

Good, not great.
Jacopo competed in his second tournament of the season when he fished his home lake, Guntersvillein the Phoenix Bass Fishing League tournament there. He chose to compete and practice there even though it is not part of the Bass Pro Tour, because it nonetheless offered Jacopo a chance to stay sharp, practice new strategies and try new spots and techniques

Freedom Marine Center and Jacopo Gallelli
The sponsorship and support from Freedom Marine Center of Guntersville are tightening even further for the newly started season. Jacopo’s participation in the Bass Pro Tour 2024 can therefore increasingly rely on the professionalism and availability of the friends at Freedom Marine who have been following Jacopo since his early important races in America. On Jacopo’s Phoenix bass boat, we can see the new wrapping prominently featuring the Freedom Marine logo, among the most important sponsors.
